Testimonials!

I thought your book was inspirational and very down to earth. Having known you for this many years, I didnot realize the depth to which you were able to express your emotions; “I can hear the screaming”, “Mother”, andothers. I suppose what impresses me most is that fact that when you re-read one of your poems, often you can pulla different meaning from it than the first time. Perhaps that is a sign of elasticity – a poem that expands, or grows tomeet the moment.

Well done Mr. Cross – well done indeed!
